    I have a suggestion.
    1. balance the budget with a deduct of 200 billion in spending.
    2. Drill for oil in the US under the cognanscent (SP) that all of the oil in our borders is a national treasure
    a Open bidding to both Union and non union to drill, if union bids come in over 5% higher tell the unions they are out.
    b. Use the income to pay of our national debt and use a small portion for federal taxes.
    c. make it a law that winning biders can only get up to 5% profit from the sales of oil
    d. remainder of profits are shared equally wtih all legal citizens of the US.
    e. Any citizen that has just been legalized has to wait a perior of 10 years before they get some of these profits.
    I think this will get rid of all unemployment spending, and give all the liberals that house and I pod they so desperatly want by using the monies they recieve from thier monies receieved.

    NOTE: THis will all have to be conducted with open book policy, and the oil companies that bid or are awarded the contracts can not in any way shape or form pay for any form of political contributions nor thier employees.

    will this work?

    We are messing around with technologies that we can't control when something goes wrong and if we continue proliferating nuclear reactors worldwide eventually we are going to blow us all up…We are moving toward self-destruction as a reach. This is a wake up call for humanity and this is an opportunity for us to grow and learn from this experience while we show our compassion and unconditional love and help to the japanese people….Thanks, Ivette in Miami

    Japan is critically ill again, a willing victim of the Sovietopean nuclear movement. This has happened two times : first in Nagasaki and Hiroshima in 1945, and now in 2011 with the explosion of Einstein reactors, powered by uranium exported by Einstein mines in places such as Australia and Canada. It is important for the People population of Planet Earth to immediately change course away from the nuclear horizon, away from the piggish plundering of natural resources in Australia and Canada, and to dedicate full effort to having right relations with Nature, without whose help, People as a species may not survive.
